Jeremiya
3 Vanhu vanobvunza kuti: “Kana murume akadzinga mudzimai wake, mudzimai wacho omusiya ova wemumwe murume, murume wacho angadzokazve kwaari here?”
Nyika iyoyo haina kusvibiswa zvakanyanya here?+
“Wakaita chipfambi nevanhu vazhinji,+
Saka iye zvino ungadzoka kwandiri here?” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.
2 “Simudza maziso ako utarise kuzvikomo zvisina chinhu uone.
Ndepapi pausina kubatwa chibharo?
Waivagaririra mumigwagwa,
Semunhu anotama-tama* murenje.
Unoramba uchisvibisa nyika
Neupfambi hwako nezvakaipa zvako.+
5 Munhu angaramba akatsamwa nekusingaperi here,
Kana kuti angaramba aine chigumbu here?’
Izvi ndizvo zvaunotaura,
Asi unoramba uchiita zvakaipa zvese zvaunokwanisa.”+
6 Mumazuva aMambo Josiya,+ Jehovha akati kwandiri: “‘Waona zvakaitwa naIsraeri uyo asina kutendeka here? Akaenda mumakomo ese akakwirira nepasi pemiti yese yakasvibirira kuti aite zvechipfambi.+ 7 Kunyange pashure pekunge aita zvinhu zvese izvi, ndakaramba ndichimuudza kuti adzoke kwandiri;+ asi haana kudzoka; uye Judha akaramba achingotarisa mukoma wake anonyengera.+ 8 Pandakazviona ndakadzinga Israeri asina kutendeka ndikamupa gwaro rakazara rekumuramba+ nemhaka yeupombwe hwake.+ Asi Judha, munin’ina wake anonyengera haana kutya; naiyewo akaenda akanoita zvechipfambi.+ 9 Akaona upfambi hwake sechinhu chidiki, uye akaramba achisvibisa nyika, achiita upombwe nematombo nemiti.+ 10 Pasinei nezvese izvi, munin’ina wake Judha anonyengera haana kudzoka kwandiri nemwoyo wake wese, asi zvaiva zvekungonyepedzera,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.”
11 Jehovha akabva ati kwandiri: “Israeri asina kutendeka akaratidza kuti akarurama* kupfuura Judha anonyengera.+ 12 Enda kuchamhembe uzivise mashoko aya ekuti:+
“‘“Dzokai, haiwa imi vaIsraeri vakatsauka,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.’+ ‘“Handizokutarisii ndakatsamwa,*+ nekuti ndakavimbika,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.’ ‘“Handizorambi ndakatsamwa nekusingaperi. 13 Imi chingobvumai mhosva yenyu chete, nekuti makapandukira Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Makaramba muchingomwaya rudo rwenyu* kuvatorwa* pasi pemiti yese yakasvibirira, asi hamuna kuda kuteerera inzwi rangu,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.’”
14 “Dzokai imi vanakomana vakatsauka,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha. “Nekuti ndava tenzi wenyu chaiye;* uye ndichakutorai, mumwe chete kubva muguta uye vaviri kubva mumhuri, uye ndichakuunzai kuZiyoni.+ 15 Ndichakupai vafudzi vanoita zvandinoda,+ uye vachakufudzai neruzivo nenjere. 16 Muchava vazhinji, mobereka zvibereko muri munyika yacho pamazuva iwayo,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.+ “Havazotizve, ‘Areka yesungano yaJehovha!’ Haizouyi mupfungwa, uye havazoiyeuki kana kuisuwa, uye haizogadzirwizve. 17 Panguva iyoyo vachatumidza Jerusarema kuti chigaro cheumambo chaJehovha;+ uye marudzi ese achaunganidzwa kune zita raJehovha kuJerusarema,+ uye havazoomesi misoro zvakare vachitevera mwoyo yavo yakaipa.”
18 “Mumazuva iwayo imba yaJudha neimba yaIsraeri dzichafamba pamwe chete,+ uye dzichabva kunyika yekuchamhembe dziri pamwe chete dzichipinda munyika yandakapa madzitateguru enyu kuti ive nhaka yawo.+ 19 Uye ndakati, ‘Ndakakuisa pakati pevanakomana ndikakupa nyika yakanaka kwazvo, nhaka yakanaka kupfuura dzese pamarudzi!’*+ Ndakafungawo kuti muchandishevedza kuti, ‘Baba vangu!’ uye kuti hamuzoregi kunditevera. 20 ‘Haiwa imi imba yaIsraeri, chokwadi makandinyengera, sezvinoita mudzimai anosiya murume wake* nekunyengera,’+ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.”
21 Muzvikomo zvisina chinhu muri kunzwika ruzha,
Kuchema uye kuteterera kwevanhu veIsraeri,
Nekuti vakavhiringidza nzira yavo;
Vakakanganwa Jehovha Mwari wavo.+
22 “Dzokai, imi vanakomana vakatsauka.
Ndichagadzirisa kutsauka kwenyu.”+
“Tiri pano! Tauya kwamuri,
Nekuti imi, haiwa Jehovha, muri Mwari wedu.+
23 Chokwadi zvikomo nemheremhere iri mumakomo ndezvenhema.+
Chokwadi ruponeso rwaIsraeri ruri kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.+
